Planning application
26/0753/TTPO
4 Owls Close Whittlesford Cambridgeshire CB22 4PL
Proposal
X2 Mature Ash (back garden and encroaching from Railway land) - Sympathetic 2m crown reduction to growth points, where possible, on the western crown of the trees. These self-set trees are now semi-mature specimens. They have not been managed for over 10 years and are now causing considerable shading and are increasingly dominant. Nothing is growing in the garden underneath, and the limbs are becoming overextended.The aim of the works is to ease loading and therefore reduce the risk of failure into the garden and seating area, and to improve light below.
As published by the council, reference 26/0753/TTPO

What happens while it is decided
The process from here
This application is with South Cambridgeshire for determination. The council publicises it, consults neighbours and technical bodies where required, and weighs the responses against local and national planning policy.
The statutory target is eight weeks for most applications and thirteen for major development, though extensions of time are common. Comments carry most weight while the case is undecided, so check the council portal for the deadline if you want to respond.
About trees applications
How this application type works
Tree applications cover work to protected trees: those under a tree preservation order need consent for pruning or felling, and trees in a conservation area need six weeks written notice before work starts. The council assesses the amenity value of the tree and can refuse consent, approve it with conditions, or in conservation areas make a preservation order in response.
